Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Origins of the Great Purges: The Soviet Communist Party Reconsidered, 1933-1938. Book.

Condition: New.

Paperback. Condition: New. This is a study of the structure of the Soviet Communist Party in the 1930s. Based upon archival and published sources, the work describes the events in the Bolshevik Party leading up to the Great Purges of 1937-1938.
